Chapter 80: The Thoughts of Chaos Demon Gods
Some chaos demon gods were moved by the news, while others hesitated.
"Preaching in the chaos? Whether this is true or false, could it be a trap to lure us in and devour us?"
The weaker chaos demon gods harbored doubts. Deception was common in chaos—traps set to ensnare others and consume them. Given their own lack of strength, they feared falling into such a scheme. If this was a trap, they would gain nothing and instead become prey.
"It's better to stay put and not take risks. If this is a trick, we will only meet our end," some concluded, deciding not to go. Chaos City was far away, and the journey was filled with dangers. Before reaching their destination, they could be ambushed and devoured by stronger chaos demon gods.
Thus, they chose to remain where they were, advancing slowly in their own way. Many beings like them, out of fear and hesitation, abandoned opportunities within their reach—chances that could have altered their destiny. Yet, later in life, they would regret their cowardice. When they were old and powerless, they would lament the opportunities they let slip away, but by then, it would be too late.
Timidity is the mark of those without strength. Without power, one hesitates, unable to seize fate. But those with power, even if they fail, will always find another path forward.
Some chaos demon gods dismissed the event with disdain.
"How absurd! What is this so-called 'Primordial Ancient Serpent' that dares to preach in the chaos? Does it even understand the Dao?"
"We are chaos demon gods! And that creature thinks it can be our teacher? A joke! If we were to listen to its preaching, wouldn't that place us beneath it?"
